got my new carpet and sound deadener installed over the last two weeks. I soon will be installing a new dash pad and upgraded door panels. I'm super happy with the way the carpet turned out and the deadener seems to hush the road noise a little too. Does anyone have tips on revitalizing the tired old door panel plastics?

So, I have a 1984 GMC High Classic that I am slowly working on. Had the weak 305 taken out and a 350 put in. Now I am replacing the carb with an Edlebrock 1406. When I went to install, this part is keeping it from fitting. It wasn't hooked up to anything so I don't think it is too important. I am not sure though if I remove this completely what damage will it do? If I can remove it, does anyone sell a plate to put in its place? I admit, this is my first vehicle that I've worked on. Not a trained mechanic by no means but this is something to keep me busy... Any help anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated.

I purchased the rear cab molding and the clips and am ready to attach the clips. There are no existing clips to use as a reference so I am unsure what direction they need to be installed. One side of the clip has a tab in the center, the other side has two curved tabs. Does anyone know which side should be up towards the window?

So, finally got the engine running very well on the 81 GMC and the transmission went out. So, I was working on it this morning and saw this set of wires attached on the drivers side at the corner bolt where the transmission casing attaches to the engine block. I detached it an pulled it through the top to get a better look at it. It was broken below and couldn't see it well enough to figure out how to fix it. I don't know what this thing is. It looks like it might be a fusable link but whether it is or not, I don't know what this runs or does at all. And since the engine is running well, I expect it relates to a sensor or a gauge but I really don't know.

I have a 74 c10 stepside swb that's freshly painted. I bought new bed sides front bed panel tailgate the whole 9. My question is there some kind of felt that goes between the bed step and lower part of fender? Also what about between the bed step hanger and bed step itself. Note that common sense tells me that metal on metal contact isn't a good idea especially they have nice paint on them. Thanks for the advice
